I think the reason why this hurts so much is because most manhwas don't really let much time pass when the couple fight, it's usually less than a year. Now in this one we just see the years pass so fast and we can't do anything, it's frustrating. And then when they get back together again all you think about is the amount of years that they suffered alone and how much they must regret the years they lost. But still this bl is so worth reading, It's so beautiful that it hurts.
*SPOILERS* i've been crying non-stop since they found each other again and when one of them died at that point I wasn't even breathing anymore. On chapter 6 when we see the memory of them in the park laughing i couldn't help but laugh as well even though my vision was blurry as hell and the tears just wouldn't stop falling.
Guys, calm down. Here's how the timeline goes:
18 years old - Oikawa and Iwaizumi start dating.
20 years old - They break up for a while, and Iwaizumi gets a girlfriend.
2 months later - Oikawa is in the hospital for anorexia and an ulcer.
1 month later - They get back together.
2-8 years later - They get engaged.
Iwaizumi broke up with Oikawa because he thought he was taking "his happy future" (a.k.a. kids + wife) from him, he tries to get over oikawa and fails miserably meanwhile oikawa can't handle being away from hajime so he takes little care of his health which result of him getting anorexia + an ulcer. Iwaizumi realizes in the hospital that he almost lost oikawa and even if he doesnt know if they are gonna last and that tooru can change his mind anytime (in the previous dj he tells oikawa that is alright if he wants to break up with him) he still wants to try and have a happy ending together
They posted the sequel here but soon deleted it since it already existed in the site. it was separated from volume 1 because volume 1 is shounen ai and volume 2 isn't
